- Date: 18 Nov
- Time: 12:00 - 17:30 uur
- Location: Hotel Van der Valk Best/Eindhoven
- Entry fee €0
The Brainport region is growing rapidly. This offers enormous opportunities, but also requires us to focus on what unites us. How do we ensure that every child, every young person and every family feels seen, welcome and at home in an increasingly diverse society?
During Grenzeloos Goed Opgroeien 2026’, the power of diversity takes centre stage. Different languages, cultures and backgrounds make our region richer, more innovative and more resilient. When we truly engage with one another, remain curious and learn together, an environment is created in which everyone is given the space to develop.
Education and upbringing play a key role in this. Schools, childcare, healthcare, local authorities and social partners together form the basis for connection. It is precisely the little things that make the difference: a professional who understands your language, recognises you in materials or has an eye for your story. Inclusion is not just about policy, but above all about everyday actions.
Grenzeloos Goed Opgroeien 2026 brings together professionals, administrators and partners from across the Brainport region to share knowledge, gain inspiration and work together to build an inclusive future. A future in which we focus on possibilities rather than limitations. Where differences make us stronger and where every child can grow up with opportunities.

This year, the ‘Grenzeloos Goed Opgroeien’ conference has undergone a slight name change. With ‘Grenzeloos Goed Opgroeien’, we emphasise the importance of a strong, continuous developmental pathway, in which childcare and education work closely together to ensure equal opportunities, development and well-being for every child. Because growing up well requires connection: between professionals, organisations and the worlds of children and families.
